Artist Statement

I don’t paint to separate myself from others. I don’t paint for fame and not for financial gain. I don’t paint because it is what I was put on this earth to do. And I certainly don’t paint to express my most inner emotions. I simply paint because it makes me happy. For me, making art, whether it is painting, drawing, or printmaking, is a way to slow down time and allow me to enjoy every minute of my life. Everything outside is chaotic, frantic, and sometimes depressing but inside my studio, I create my own world where I am in charge of everything from music to conversation to lighting. Painting, however, can be as heart-wrenching and difficult as anything outside, but I use those times as challenges and work through them.
I have no plans right now to attend graduate school and I may never do so, but I know I will be creating some form of art for the rest of my life. My dream is not to teach but to support others. My goal is to someday open a gallery focusing on emerging artists. I hope to support others with the same encouragement and real support that I have received over the past years. Right now I am at the bottom of the totem pole and I might not ever reach the top, but that’s fine with me because I am doing what truly makes me happy.
